A celebration of gay culture, Fag Life: A Conversation with Fred Phelps mixes thoughts from “gay — but not gay” comedian Brent Sullivan about his experiences in the gay community with surprisingly hilarious quotes from America’s homophobe-in-chief Fred Phelps. The show is a celebration of gay culture, though reportedly “very critical of certain aspects of the LGBT community that are outdated, stereotypical and offensive,” whatever that means. Dave Hill and Eliot Glazer direct. Saturday, Nov. 6, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Artisphere, 1101 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. Tickets are $20. Call 703-875-1100 or visit artisphere.com.
